Benefits of technology
The invention is a freshening clip cabin air cleaner that includes a filter media and an annular frame member that supports the filter media. The air cleaner can be easily attached to an air vent grill using a clip mounting means. The air cleaner also includes a scented air freshening material that can be volatized by the air vent airflow to scent the air. The support members are designed to securely hold the filter media within the annular frame member. The invention provides a simple and effective solution for improving the air quality in vehicle cabins.
Problems solved by technology
While some vehicles are manufactured and equipped with cabin air filters, a greater number of motor vehicles lack provisions for or to install a cabin air filter in the motor vehicle.
In such vehicles it is at least difficult and maybe nearly impossible to retrofit a cabin air filter into the air ventilation duct system to provide cabin air filtration.

Abstract
A freshening clip cabin air cleaner includes an airflow permeable filter media arranged in and supported in an annular frame member. Support members may be provided at one or both airflow face of the filter media and includes an elongated clip mounting means mounting the freshening clip cabin air cleaner to the air vent grill. A scented air freshening material having volatizing aromatic agents is arranged on or in at least one of the support members, the annular frame or the filter media.
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The invention relates to air filtering and air freshening devices and, more particularly, to an air freshening clip cabin air cleaner including an air filter device with an integrated air freshening agent detachably mounted to a motor vehicle interior air ventilation duct opening for filtering and freshening the vehicle cabin air.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Air fresheners are known for use in motor vehicle passenger cabins. One often seen variety includes the air freshener “trees” that may be observed hanging from a vehicle inside mirror.[0003]The air freshening agent may be provided as a solid, liquid or gel material. In the case of liquids, the liquid may be provided in a bottle with a wick to volatize the freshening agent into the air, alternately liquids may be saturated into or absorbed into sponge, cloth or foam carrier materials from which components of the freshener liquid volatize or evaporate into the air.[0004]U.S. Pat. No. 5,407,642 discloses a ...
